STEAM FUNCTIONS
LG's new steam technology allows you to inject
fabrics with a swirling jet of hot steam to refresh
clothes, reduce static, and make ironing easier.
Simply select the STEAM FRESH ™ cycle, or you
can add a Steam option to selected cycles.
Using the STEAM FRESH ™ Cycle
STEAM FRESH uses the power of steam alone
™
to quickly reduce wrinkles and odor in fabrics. It
brings new life to wrinkled clothes that have been
stored for an extended time and makes heavily
wrinkled clothes easier to iron. STEAM FRESH
can also be used to help reduce odors in fabrics.
NOTES:
• REDUCE STATIC or EASY IRON options can
also be used during the STEAM FRESH
• Depending on the load (quantity of items), you
may change the amount of time for the cycle by
pressing the MORE TIME or LESS TIME button.
The display will show 3, 5, or BULKY LOAD. 3
means 3 or fewer items, 5 is for 4 or 5 items,
and BULKY LOAD indicates a large load such
as a comforter.

1 Turn on the dryer and turn the cycle selector
knob to select the STEAM FRESH
